THE CHAMBER (1997)
JAMES FOLEY
Plot
Tense and gripping adaptation of a best-seller by John Grisham (The Client, A Time to Kill) with Chris O'Donnell as attorney Adam Hall, who has just 28 days to save his grandfather from execution for two racist murders. The ever-reliable Hackman is enigmatically inscrutable as the Klansman whose dark family secrets are gradually uncovered by his increasingly perturbed grandson.
